15th July 2015, ASX Announcement

Pioneering Australian company, Leaf Resources, was selected from an international field of 38 companies to be one of the five finalists for the Sofinnova Chemistry Start-up Award.

The award is being held in conjunction with BIO World Congress on Industrial Biotechnology in Montreal, Columbia from 19-22 July 2015.

Leaf Resources has developed a unique new process that promises to revolutionise bio manufacturing on a global scale, and nudge fossil fuel-based chemicals and plastics out of the market.

Leaf Resources’ Glycell process uses glycerol as the main reagent in their process to make cellulosic sugars – the key component in bio-chemicals and bio-plastics – from biomass such as waste from agriculture. And it does so for a fraction of the cost of technologies currently used as alternatives to fossil fuel-based industry processes.
